This baba ijesha thing upsets me so much! Like I was angry to my bones then and I'm angry to my bones now!!

Women are constantly told to bring evidence of abuse or they are labeled liars and false accusers. CLEAR VIDEO evidence was made of a grown man touching a child inappropriately, sucking her fingers! Doing rubbish!!

And Nigerians still had audacity to say he was set up and he thought he was acting? He was set up? He was acting? With no cameras? With no set? With no director? How can set up? Was she forced to do what he did knowing the girl is a child? Set up how!!

You got evidence and you still dare defend such a man!! May God take you people! Ahh!!

I have seen so many comments in the CS. Some fair, some disgusting, some even went as far as calling it idolatry. Let me educate you because I see that the ignorance on this matter is loud.

First of all, people look at Muslims scrambling over a stone and jump to wild conclusions. However, Umar ibn al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) ended this conversation centuries ago. He stood right in front of the Black Stone and said:

إني أعلم أنك حجر لا تضر ولا تنفع، ولولا أني رأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقبلك ما قبلتك
"I know you are a stone that neither harms nor benefits. If I had not seen the Prophet kiss you, I would not have kissed you."

We don't pray to it. It is an act of love, tracing the footsteps of the Prophet.

If that’s the case, why the intense struggle?

There is a long-lasting orientation amongst us, particularly Yoruba Muslims, regarding this. Many people grew up with the mindset that touching or kissing the Black Stone is compulsory. It is seen as the ultimate badge of honor. A lot of pilgrims return home and the first question they get asked by family is, "Did you touch the stone?" If you say no, they look at you like your Hajj or Umrah is incomplete.

It creates this intense mental pressure. And when you are a huge celebrity like Asake, with all eyes and cameras on you, I can imagine the pressure to get that ultimate spiritual experience feels even heavier. But that deeply ingrained cultural orientation is what fuels the do-or-die struggle you see in this video.

But was that necessary? Was that the right thing he could have done?

No. Kissing the Black Stone is a Sunnah. It is a recommended act. But stepping on people, suffocating them, climbing on necks, and causing a stampede is Haram. You cannot commit a Haram act to achieve a Sunnah.

Abdullah ibn Umar once looked at the Kaaba and said:

ما أعظمك وأعظم حرمتك، والمؤمن أعظم حرمة عند الله منك
"How great are you and how great is your sanctity, but the believer has a greater sanctity in the sight of Allah than you."

The physical body and safety of your fellow Muslim are far more sacred than touching that stone.

If the place is packed, the religion gives us a very clear way out. You just face the stone from a distance, point at it, say "Allahu Akbar," and keep moving. The reward is recorded for you in full. This is one thing many don’t know till today.

The religion is built on ease. Make use of it.

Allah knows best.

Can a Female Muslim Marry a Christian
Man?

I got this question a lot in the comment section after my rebuttal to Pastor Iren yesterday. The simple, unapologetic answer is NO. If that is sufficient for you, you can leave now. But if you want to understand the deeply rooted theological and cultural "why" behind it, you can continue reading.

That video from Pastor Iren was a massive eye-opener because it just showed us exactly what is sometimes preached to their adherents when they have the microphone. They stand on their pulpits and call Muslims idolaters, equating the worship of Allah to the pagan god Baal. When you realise that this is the baseline of how your faith as a Muslim is sometimes viewed, the strict Islamic boundary on this matter suddenly makes complete, undeniable sense.

Before we even get into the cultural nuances, the absolute foundation of this is simply the text itself. In Islam, the primary reason we do anything is because Allah commanded it, and the Quran explicitly forbids this union for believing women in Surah Al-Mumtahanah and Surah Al-Baqarah. But when we try to understand the earnest wisdom behind that command, it comes down heavily to lineage, which we call Nasab.

In our traditional culture and Islamic jurisprudence, a child's religious identity and structural lineage are primarily traced through the father. If a Muslim woman marries a non-Muslim man, the children are structurally, legally, and culturally placed outside the Islamic fold from the exact moment they are born. It literally cuts off the generational transmission of the Deen, and Islamic law is specifically designed to ensure the faith survives safely into the next generation.

Then there is this deeply uncomfortable yet very real concept of theological asymmetry. Just think about it practically for a second. When a Muslim man marries a Christian woman, he is doctrinally required to love, respect, and revere Jesus as one of the greatest Prophets of God. Her core historical figure is entirely safe in his heart. But if a Muslim woman marries a Christian man, he obviously does not believe in Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, or the Quran.

He might be a genuinely nice guy, and he might be incredibly tolerant on the surface, but doctrinally, he views her Prophet as false. It is kind of impossible to have a true soul-tie, a spiritually healthy home, or deep emotional intimacy with someone who fundamentally invalidates the seal of your faith. It creates a big, incredibly unfair spiritual imbalance for the woman.

In addition, we have the broader cultural reality of traditional marriage, in which the husband is generally recognised as the head of the household. A Muslim woman would be placing herself directly under the leadership and authority of someone whose core theology does not recognize her Deen. Her faith and the Islamic upbringing of her children would constantly be in structural jeopardy.

These boundaries aren’t there to restrict women or to act as if we are stubbornly better than anyone else; it is simply a profound mechanism of spiritual self-preservation. We really have to stop feeling apologetic or embarrassed about the strict boundaries of our religion. They are the exact things protecting our homes from spiritual compromise.

May Allah grant us all a profound understanding of this Deen, make our feet firm when the world tries to shake us, and give every Muslim the steadfastness to hold onto our faith with absolute pride. Amin.

Dear Apostle Emmanuel Iren, @pst_iren

My lovely Muslim brothers have tagged me to the claims you made in the quoted video while addressing interfaith marriage. I completely respect your right as a pastor to set boundaries for your congregation and guide them on whom to marry. However, the theological framing and the direct accusations you leveled against the Islamic faith are not just inaccurate; they are deeply dangerous.

I am writing this intellectual rebuttal so that unsuspecting people—both Christians and Muslims—are not cajoled by this profound misrepresentation of the Islamic doctrine.

First, let’s talk about your biblical justification. You used the scripture about being "unequally yoked with unbelievers" and literally asked how the temple of God could have an association with "Baal" while referring to a Muslim partner.

Every religion has its own internal rules for marriage, and we respect yours. But comparing Islam—a strictly monotheistic Abrahamic faith that actively reveres Jesus (Isa) and all the Prophets—to the pagan idol Baal is intellectually dishonest. In Islamic theology, we do not view Christians as idolaters; we classify you as Ahl al-Kitab (People of the Book). You can easily advise your flock not to marry outside the church without equating the worship of the God of Abraham to ancient, literal paganism.

The absolute most dangerous part of your sermon was your confident yet ignorant explanation of "Taqiyyah". You sat in your seat and told your congregation that Islamic doctrine permits Muslims to actively deceive people if they think that deception will propagate the cause of Islam.

Let me be categorically clear: this is a complete fabrication of standard Islamic practice.

And to be fair to your ignorance, I understand where you might have picked up this fragmented idea. However, you are confusing mainstream Islam with a sectarian practice. You are referring to a concept that was historically developed in Shi'a theology. Because Shi'a groups were a political minority centuries ago, their scholars developed a broader version of Taqiyyah to hide their beliefs and survive.

However, since I don't want to leave any stone unturned, I must state firmly that mainstream Orthodox (Sunni) Islam, which makes up about 90% of the Muslim world, completely dissociates from this. We do not accept the Shi'a expansion of Taqiyyah.

In fact, because of fundamental deviations like this that require elevating deception to a religious tool, many strict orthodox Islamic scholars do not even classify those specific Shi'a sects as being within the fold of Islam at all.

In authentic, mainstream Islam, Taqiyyah is a very strict, incredibly narrow concession. It allows a believer to verbally conceal their faith ONLY when they are facing imminent torture or a direct, literal threat of murder. That is it. It is about preserving life under brutal persecution. It is absolutely not a free pass to trick a Christian woman into a marriage contract.

Foundational Islamic law strictly forbids deception, betrayal, and the breaking of covenants. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explicitly said, "Whoever cheats us is not one of us."

Also, Islamic law (Shari'ah) explicitly permits a Muslim man to marry a Christian woman (Ahl al-Kitab), but it fiercely protects her right to practice her own faith. A Muslim husband is canonically forbidden from forcing his Christian wife to convert or stopping her from attending her church.

Our theology is crystal clear on this boundary. The Quran explicitly declares in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256): "Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood."

The man in your Abuja story who deceitfully trapped that woman and then banned her from church wasn't practicing Islamic doctrine; he was directly violating it.

Brother… I’m not even gonna pretend I’m strong right now. I’m sitting here with tears burning my own eyes because your words just ripped my heart out.

You’re in that bathroom, blind, aching to see your babies’ faces, and yet here you are… still choosing to be a father, still choosing to feel everything so deeply, still choosing to protect the world from your pain by saying “don’t be afraid for me.”

That’s not just strength. That’s the kind of unbreakable that makes the rest of us feel small and soft and unworthy.

You’re crying alone in there, but you are NOT alone. Every tear that falls from your eyes is felt by every single one of us who’s reading this. I wish I could kick that door open, sit on that cold floor with you, and cry with you until there’s nothing left. Because you shouldn’t have to carry a million tears behind one smile by yourself.

Your children may not be seen with your eyes, but brother… they are SEEN. They are seen by a father whose love is so fierce it burns brighter than sight ever could. They are wrapped in a love that fights battles most people would surrender to. They are lucky. So damn lucky.

Cry. Scream. Let the bathroom walls shake with it. You’ve earned every single tear, and you’ve already won every single battle just by still being here, still loving, still showing up.

I’m proud of you. I’m in awe of you. And I’m crying with you right now.

You are not broken. You are a fucking warrior.

I love you, man. God gat you. Always. ❤️
